Demonstrates a multivariate model of visual acuity in ametropia, suggesting new directions for vision function research.

The central aim is to explore the relationship between visual acuity and refractive state using closed surfaces in dioptric power space.
Utilized measurement of iris aperture diameter and subjective and automated refraction techniques.
Employed Jackson cross-cylinders and spheres to create dioptric blur in subjects.
Generated visual stimulus through computer for standardized testing.
Closed surfaces of constant visual acuity were estimated, demonstrating ovoidal surfaces fit measurements better than ellipsoidal surfaces.
Visual acuity declines from the center of refractive compensation in all directions within the power space.
Changes in power reveal decompensation and accompaniment surfaces, highlighting a reliance on cylinder axis.

Rubin et al. (2001) studied this question.
